Although brain inflammation is evident in Alzheimer's disease, prospective trials of steroidal and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have failed to show benefit.

Conjugated estrogens, a subgroup of the broad group of steroidal estrogens, are already listed as ‘known’ and drug labeling or package inserts discuss the possible side-effects that occur in some people.

Unlike other aromatase inhibitors, exemestane is a steroidal aromatase inactivator, which means it selectively targets and irreversibly binds to the aromatase enzyme, which is required to produce estrogen.
